Lost Earring
Hi,
I get your email daily and thought you might be able to help me.
On Sunday, my wife lost an earring (small square filled with little diamonds) somewhere along Atlantic Road or on Good Harbor beach. Could you please reach out to your followers to see if anyone possibly found it.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated help!
Steve
If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call me at 978-239-3900

Cranberry Bog at Patriot Place
While shopping at Bass Pro Shops over the weekend down at Patriot Place, we took a quick walk on the Cranberry Bog Nature Trail. Since the boys were really little a day at Bass Pro Shops has been the perfect day trip. They have always loved spending hours browsing the store’s giant inventory, watching the fish and turtles, playing the shooting game, climbing on the ATVs, and picking out fishing lures, toys, and treats. The Blue Fin lounge (temporarily closed due to COVID) has been a favorite little lunch spot…located right inside the store with lovely outdoor seating as well…it has always been a perfect spot for a quick lunch before heading home. The Nature Trail is located directly behind Bass Pro Shops and is a quick, pretty walk to take while visiting.

Thermoworks Smoke is 20% off and my favorite remote BBQ Monitoring Thermometer
Here’s the link: https://www.thermoworks.com/Smoke
By subscribing to the Thermoworks list you get an extra 10% off as well.
My good friend Joe Ball alerted me to a big sale on a commercial grade remote thermometer- the Thermoworks Smoke.
I’d always used a Maverick 732 which is a decent consumer grade remote thermometer that retails for around $60.
The Thermoworks Smoke is professional grade. The build quality is conservatively speaking about three times greater and it can be had for $79.99 including shipping.
I can’t stress enough how good of a unit this is. If you have a grill master in your life, trust me buy this and put it away for a birthday or Christmas and they will love you for it.

Nova Scotia’s Annual Tree on Boston Commons – fascinating history and ties!
Annual tree at Kent Circle in Gloucester, Mass., also from Nova Scotia.
Follow the excellent thread to learn more about Canada’s annual remembrance and giving tree; its history concerns a disaster as catastrophic as the Johnstown Flood.
https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsThis tree from Nova Scotia is now in Boston Common.

The Nova Scotians send one every year.
Why? pic.twitter.com/T0iCbPoEh5
There are many Nova Scotia ties in Gloucester, too. Canadians immigrants, especially ones born on the east coast, settled throughout Massachuestts. Canadian born fishermen worked and lived in Gloucester. More than 1200 Nova Scotians went down to the sea and are memorialized here.
Thanks to the Tarr family, Gloucester has an annual tree from Nova Scotia. Read more about this year’s journey to install the tree from Shelburne Falls at Kent Circle.

Holiday Lights and Cocoa Drives 2020 map #GloucesterMA #CapeAnn 🚗☕🎄✨⛄
When I was a girl, my family, like many other families, considered every nocturne drive a chance to look for Christmas lights. Of course we carried on this tradition with our own children. The magic of the season is so easy to find in neighborhoods throughout Gloucester and all of Cape Ann. Coasting past classic New England home styles decorated for the holidays– while driving along bends and dips in the roads by charming coves– is sheer visual delight. There is a surprise around every corner.
Plus the season’s early nightfall is most welcome for little ones’ bedtime enchantment. Throw on some comfy holiday attire and toss in a thermos of hot chocolate to make it an extra special treat for the youngest, and the young at heart, and the perfect outing for social distancing in this year of Covid. Repeat visits are encouraged because there’s so much to see and more added every day.
Last year readers asked for a map. Here are some of the homes spreading cheer NOW with their Christmas lights and holiday yard displays, and it’s not yet December 1, 2020! Is your favorite friendly seasonal character out there? Or favorite color lights twinkling bright? I’ll continue to update the map and photographs, including specific requests and location recommendations from GMG readers.
Holiday lights & cocoa drives Gloucester Mass as of November 30, 2020
NEW for 2020: And still more attractions with festive lights coming soon. First Annual Winter Lights Display on Cape Ann starts December 7th. Check out all the businesses and organizations readying light displays downtown and local shopping!
